Knocking Out Cemeteries and
Crematories.
New York Tribune.
Another answer to the question Of
how best to dispose of the dead has
been given by J. G. Meyers, of Wash
ington. He has invented plan which
he believes to be superior to cremation,
burial, or any other ancient or modern
method of treating dead bodies. The
new Mausoleum and Safe Deposit for
the Dead is the name of this new con-
triyance.
Mr.. Meyers plan may be regarded as a
compromise between the two extremes
OF interment and cremation. In fire.
proof building spaces will be provided
Just large enough to hold single coffin
When coffin with dead body is placed
in one of these the door of the apart.
ment is Theoretically sealed. Running
from these apartments are tubes which
bring air into the dead-roOmS and also
carry it downward by forced draft to
central furnace below, where are con-
Sumed all gases and fluids escaping
from the bodies. Dead bodies treated
in this manner will, in short time, it is
claimed, become naturally preserved or
urltu, ana so remain.
Ample provision will be made TO pre-
vent the entombing of persons not
really dead. A receiving room will be
provided with an electrical apparatus so
arranged that the slightest movement
in the coffin will set off an alarm. This
will continue for hours if need be, and
will also move an indicator which will
draw attention to the place where the
movement occurred. Ii. again, for any
reason the removal of the dead body
should be desired, the bodies in the
mausOleum, unlike those in the gloomy
pyramids of Gizeh, are always
accessible and in such a state of preser-
walton as to make transfer practicable
and comparatively easy. Arrangements
will also be made for embalming bodies
and for entombing those treated in this
way that they may be seen at any time
by friends. By the adoption of this
system, Mr.. Meyers maintains, body
bic. There will be but Single
entrance to the building, guarded
day and night Yet Notwithstanding all
these appointments the cost of entomb-
ing in the mausoleum will not exceed
that of a respectable intermentin Green
wood, Laurel Hill or any other we'll
known cemetery. Families could be
accommodated with sections, including
as many single apartments as desired.
The fronts of these spaces can be
adorned as deliberately as a tombstone
and with fully as great variety of OF
namentation.
An ordinary mausoleum could be
placed within the limits of city as
we'll as on cemetery grounds, and be far
less Objectionable, if built and managed
as proposed, than the average brewery
or sugar refinery. So favorably has
Mr.. Meyers plan been received that al
ready preparations are being made to
introduce it throughout the country.

A CHAPTER OF GOSSIP.
Regarding the Wilson Scandal
and Other Foreign Matters.

Copyright Cable to the Globe.
LONDON, Dec. 23.-M. Daniel Wilson
again appeared before the investigation
commission to-day and was examined
with reference to newly discovered
decoration scandal at great length. The
details of NJ. Wilson's testimony were
not made public, but as a result of his
examination three men named Dubreuil,
Herbert and Rebaudrau were arrested
on charge of having attempted to OBJ
tain the decoration of the Legion of
Honor through NJ. Wilson's influence.
This quite evident desire of the commits
sion to probe NJ. Wilson's connection
with the scandal is highly commended
by the peess generally. 1t is pretty
plain that NJ. Wilson's anxiety to shift
the load from his own own shoulders to
those of anybody who may be unable to
escape, has in no wise abated. When
the three men arrested to-day are
arraigned for examination it may be
made clear that they were not nearly so
anxious to obtain the decoration as the
presidents son-in-law was to influence
their issuance for consideration.
The visit of Lord Randolph Church
ill to st. Petersburg continues to con-
found the political Sages and others who
are usually in position to obtain infor
nation from inspired sources and many
of the latter persons express views on
the subject dramatically opposite to
those to their fellows. 1t is morally
certain, however, that he has gone on his
own hook, and that nothing he may
say or do will receive sanction here.
Lord Salisbury fatty denies the assert
tons of Justin Mccarthy concerning the
alleged home rule proposals which the
Tory government attempted to bring
was charged with the duty of making
Overtures in their behalf to the Parnell+
tie leaders. Lord Salisbury declares
that neither he nor any other RESPONSE
bic member of the government ever au-
thOriZed the proposals, and further as
SertS that they would have received no
cOuntenance from the government had
they become the subject of serious dis
cussion among the Nationalist leaders,
Extremely important and absolutely
fresh dynamite revelations are promised
by the police next week. In the search
for evidence against Callan and Mel
vile the police have discovered, or
claim to have done so at least, that
these presumed dynamiters have been
known in London under several aliases
other than those mentioned in the war
rants for their arrest. This discovery
has led to the springing of number of
clues which the police claim will result
in the apprehension of persons hitherto
unsupported, and the officials are scour-
ing the vicinity of Kings bridge as well
as Glasgow and other centers in hopes
of bagging Callan, Melville and their
accOmpliceS.
The government has decided TO in
crease the strength of the life guards by
two regiments, drawing from the
dragons for this purpose.
